in praise of coworkers

we are the rats
of the conference
center

we know the tunnels
we know the back doors
we know the sunny spots

when and where
to smoke

we know how to hide
we know how to steal

no one really likes us

a few old ladies
from the country
a retard and
a cripple

who know
what it's like.

An unintentional community

we encourage
challenge
feed
smoke
work

side by side

in a hot humid
racist enviroment

repetitive dehumanization

they are my family.
